Summary:

Twenty-five years ago, Daniel Quillen launched a new branch of mathematics with his definition of the higher algebraic K-groups of a ring. Since then some of the world's best mathematicians have devoted their energy to the study of Quillen's K-groups. This is the first book to present all the important results in the area in a single volume. The book traces the development of the theory from Quillen's fundamental calculation and the early results of the subject to the current state of research, and also includes exercises at the end of each chapter.
